Carnival

Intro

My name is Carlos Hansen and I have gathered my friends to go to an amusement park, "Skyline Park". I personally think it would be fun because I seen how high the new ride "The SkyShredder" is. They are also hosting a new circus act with 5 new clowns that are dressed up to be "less scary" because there was a problem last year with kids getting scared about them. 2 reports of missing kids have happened and I believe thats because of how big it is. No illegal substances nor crime scenes were announced either so I refuse to believe it was something bad that happened. But we are meeting up tomorrow and the time right now is midnight. I walk up the stairs slowly while some creak, once I reach the top I stub my toe and fall onto the ground, so I get up and keep walking acting as if nothing happened. I open my door and go to my bed. Tired, I set my alarm while repeating "6:30 am" inside my head as I set it. Happily once Ive finished I turn on my favorite movie "Dumb and Dumber" and close my eyes. The time is 6:30 now and my alarm is going off so as annoying as it sounds I still happily turn it off and get off of my bed. I walk downstairs and have no flaws going down this time, I start walking to the kitchen and seem hungry so I eat my breakfast, I chose oreos this time because Im too lazy to look for anything. I finish half of the bag and halfway throigh the one I was eating I hear a knock at my door. "This is probably my friends!" I think as I open the door. I open it and see my friends there with the left passenger seat open so of course, I go up to it and get in. "Hey! Carlos how ya been?" "Ive been great Nathan, you?" "Ive been kickin' ass in life. Look beside me! Its my new girl! Ainsley say hi to Carlos, hes been my best friend since 5th grade" "Hey there, Carlos.." She blushes "Nice to meet you ainsley! Where do you come from?" "France." She responds trying to keep a straight face and not mess up with me. Nathan hits the gas and we all settle for the 2 hour car ride. Half way through Ainsley falls asleep in the car listening to the music under her grey fleecy blanket. For the other half we ate at a fast food resteraunt and we had finally made it. The big sign in bold letters reads out "Skyline Park" me and Nathan have been wanting to go here forever but ainsley claims that she has already been here before and that the circus is a "NIGHTMARE!" We completely ignore her because we believe she is trying to scare us. We walk inside the park and almost half the rides are closed until next fall "What the hell is this!?" I say in anger. I dont speak to any co workers about my anger with this because its just as much of a waste of time as it will be for them. We see the new ride but the line is LOOOOOONG and I dint feel like waiting "The circus is near us.. Do you wanna go?" Ainsley asks almost messing up on every breath trying to stay confident. "Sure" we both say at the same time. We start walking and I see a small pebble that I start to subconciously kick untile we see the entrace. There are 15 more people in the lineup. Luckily, we have 4 tickets. We ask another adult if she wants to come along and she agrees. We walk in and the seats are off limits. They tell us to watch out if another clown approaches while doing a stunt. This is bullshit! We pay $60 to get these tickets and we have to risk our lives to just watch the show? The clowns are scary enough and the risk of dying makes it even WORSE. I need to stop hiding my emotions. I sigh as the lights turn on and they introduce ut to clowns that do poses as they describe each clown. Zaza likes to play with fire and go fast. Santito likes to go up into high areas. Quento likes to entertain guests. If anything, I wouldnt want him to help me not die of boredom. Infact none of them. Last but not least, Tainti the two headed clown loves to do risky things with blades and pretty much just playing with his life. I hate the sound of this whole entire thing and Nathan nor Ainsley has said a word yet. They look even more scared than me. Zaza gets out of her door with a lion and a ring of fire, go figure. They all perform their stupid tricks that honestly just looked simple. The only thing that was unnatural is that Tainti can twist his whole head around and it only happens when hes HUNGRY!?!? I have no words truly. I only feel fear. Once the show has ended we go to the exit and the doors dont budge. We start to pound on them and still there is no response. Quento comes up to us and says "Let me help.." I see him back up but instead of running to the door he runs at a guest and two blue boney and veiny legs pierce out of its own skin effortlessly. He hits one leg into the right of his ribcage and the other in his waist. A mouth full of teeth and slobber opens and he starts to rise hid mutated legs up to his mouth. Once he bites down a loud crunch followed by an ear piercing scream happens. The lights start flickering on and off and a siren goes off. We go to a thin vent in the ground and use the girls severed leg to break it open. Once I jump in Nathan realises that Ainsley has fainted out of surprise. Santito drops right behind them and SPRINTS for Nathan and Ainsley. They make it in as he peaks his head into the vent and reach for them. We start to crawl and his arms kept extending behind us. "CRAWL FASTER CARLOS!" Nathan yells. We hear a loud snap followed by a loud scream from Santito the clown. The arm can extend no more. Once we reach the end of the vent we open it to see a glass wall that shows all clowns standing in a circle as they start to climb fast up to the window. Zaza makes it up first attempting to burn the window, I reach for the emergency alarm button, once I press it the alarm goes off and Zaza plugs her ears causing her to fall and it wakes Ainsley up "WHATS GOING ON!?" Ainsley asks scared "No time! Carlos grab the emergency hatchet!" I reach for the hatchet and see my reflection in it. I see pure evil reflecting onto my face. Am I going to take a life tonight? If its for my life I might just need to.
